Dear Ms Hew
I’m puzzled why you think I didn’t recuse myself from the hyflux statement.
Would you kindly clarify?
As you say these are your instructions I’ve copied this to my fellow board lead independent director
KK Teo and the ceo/ chairman.
Yours sincerely
Simon Tay

Dear Mr Tay
I refer to your email to our Ms Sarah Hew below.
You recused yourself only after the announcement, which you did not object to, was made.
In any case, we pointed out that it would appear that, despite having agreed to recuse yourself from
any discussion relating to WongPartnership, you considered it appropriate, as an independent
director, to publicly discuss the very same matter from which you recused yourself.
You must surely know that it is completely inconsistent for you to claim to have recused yourself
from a matter and then, while you continue to be a director of the company, to publicly discuss the
very same matter.
You have also conveniently ignored the last paragraph of our letter where we asked you to publish
our response by way of a comment to your post on your Facebook page so that your readers will
know Hyflux’s position on your post.
Please publish our letter dated 4 February 2020, your reply and this response by way of comments
to your post on your Facebook page within 24 hours of this email failing which our client will publish
the series on its website where it will also state the fact that it asked you to publish these exchanges
in connection with your post, but that you have refused to do so.
Yours faithfully
